i think that one of the reasons the united states military is such a powerful force for authoritarian control today was via the memes and other bullshit about being the "freedom/good guys" they spouted for so many years (while enslaving a large population) to convince so many smart people to go to bat for their tech superiority:
@josias@theres.life taxes are taken without consent, and allocated/spent by people who had little or no involvement in the creation of the value collected. permitting those who actually provide the tax payments to the government to direct the government proportionally to those payments would be a vastly more equitable system, provided nonconsensual taxation continues to exist.

> Biden has a long track-record of giving legislative gifts to the finance sector at the expense of the American people. They called him "The Senator from MNBA" for a reason.
the relief/gloating posts are as disgusting as the trumper ones. people who think biden is in any way an upgrade over trump are also just as much as part of the problem as trumpers. it's the *exact* same corporate authoritarian warmongering, just a different coat of paint. if you can't see that, you're totally blind.
i look forward to the day that the police do this and citizens take it upon themselves to return fire (and not with OC):
